What would the charge be?Jail is jail if you're in the wrong and a cop is having a bad day.
Yeah it's always funny until it isn't.

Yeah, nothing’s guaranteed. If I find one that doesn’t match the site’s info I’ll submit a change. It has been helpful for me.Yes. But do not forget that the data are crowd-sourced, meaning that nothing is guaranteed to be correct or exact. You still need to look for signs yourself.
Doesn’t anyone use Texas3006dotcom?
Serious questions.I do, especially since I just moved to the area and don't know who does and who doesn't allow carry in the establishments. I've developed the habit of glancing at the doors as I approach looking for signs.
Securing a firearm in a vehicle is much less complicated than it was where we used to live.

That would depend on whatever various laws that would come into play if carry was illegal at the Alamo - could be as minor as being trespassed.What would the charge be?
Serious questions.
Do you understand what the penalty is for a 30.06/30.07 violation is?
Do you understand who must be involved for that penalty to even become a question?
Do you understand the defenses to prosecution available to you?
My assumption here is that Todd was trying to be nice and helpful and was hinting at the penalty that could be assessed toward you in case you were found guilty of breaking TC PC §30.06. (but I could be wrong)I understand that it's far easier and less expensive to read the sign and not violate the terms of the law.Serious questions.

Plus, if someone doesn't want firearms or firearms owners on their property, that's their right. It's my right to go somewhere else if the terms aren't acceptable to me.

Since you are new to Texas, we'll be nice and help you out.
IF and ONLY IF you are caught being armed with a concealed handgun past a 30.06 sign on private property and if the owner chooses to press charges, you could be punished with a fine not to exceed $200. It does not go on your record, it is a fine weaker than even a parking ticket.
OTOH, if somebody breaks into your car in the parking lot and steals your gun, now you are out several hundreds dollars and have to deal with the huge hassle of reporting the gun stolen, getting a police report and all that if you can even get a unit to the parking lot to take the statement and write a report.
All interesting information. Coming from a state where firearms had to be secured in vehicles I have a lockbox in my truck. I have another one in my wife's car.
I don't have any "cheap" guns so I prefer that they not be stolen no matter why I left one in my truck.
There is also the issue of people having the right to control their own property. While I think the 30:06 & 30:07 signs are kind of dumb, that's what the people owning or controlling the property want to do.
How you and Todd choose to respond to the signs is your business as is how I choose to respond to the signs.
Then there is the issue of carrying into buildings such as court houses and post offices. I know that carrying in a USPS facility is fairly serious, and would guess that carrying into court houses, schools, etc...
The bottom line is that everyone should decide what works best for them.
A second to Max's directions to the very valuable DPS LTC-16.I usually ecommend this DPS guide for those new to the Lone Star State and unfamiliar with our laws.
QFT.For all I know they are intentionally posting the sign out of compliance for reasons of their own.
Parry’s Pizzeria on 1604 @ I-10 is currently posting a 51% sign. Mind you, it’s taped at eye level, right next to the door. We just walked right past it, knowing it was invalid.A second to Max's directions to the v…. For all I know they are intentionally posting the sign out of compliance for reasons of their own.
Do what you feel is best, but a vast of majority of those who CC pay no attention to 30.06 signage.
If a property owner asks a person to leave for any reason, it's a dumb move not to do so.
They cannot detain you nor do you have to answer any questions they may pose (i.e., "Are you carrying a weapon?").
Only a law enforcement officer can arrest a person for being in violation of 30.06/30.07.
Most likely the response to an armed individual failing to leave a property won't be the highest priority unless it happens in a small town with little other crimes being committed at the time.
Todd's response was essentially instructing this new resident of Texas to do some research before carrying. I usually recommend this DPS guide for those new to the Lone Star State and unfamiliar with our laws.
